German Movies

Unfortunately, it’s rare to find any movies about Germany that don’t have to do with the Second World War but often, these based on true story movies are the most fascinating and the most inspiring. If you’re a big WWII buff like myself, then you’ll love the following movies that are in my own personal collection!

A truly amazing tale of a swindler who earned the nickname as Berlin’s “King of Counterfeiters” but who suddenly finds himself placed in a Nazi concentration camp. Striking a deal with his Nazi captors for better treatment, he must counterfeit bank notes that the German army desperately needs, but can he live with himself?

At the height of the Swing era, Nazi Germany declares war on freedom and demands conformity from its youth. A group of “Swing Kids” rebel with their swing music and dare to stand up against the Third Reich or risk loosing their individual freedom.

Starring Bruce Willis and Colin Farrel, this film about a law student who enlists as a lieutenant during the Second World War soon finds himself captured and sent to a POW camp. He must soon represent a black air force pilot falsely accused as murder in a mock trial within the camp.

A fascinating true story about a German vocal group, the Comedian Harmonists who rose to fame during the 1920’s and 1930’s and the heartbreaking reality of being torn apart by the Nazi Regime when it is discovered that half of the group is Jewish.
